Brownie Event at Build A Bear

 As a reward for working hard selling cookies the girls all got to choose a bear and outfit at the Build a Bear store. 

 The girls are waiting patiently for directions.

 Elizabeth found the bear she wanted - it's the GS thin mint bear.

 The girls were all playing a game while they waited for their turn to stuff their animal. 

 Here's Elizabeth's finished bear with her brownie uniform on.  It's super cute!

 The girls are parading around the store with their animals.

Brownies

 For the past two years Elizabeth has been a Daisy girl scout.  At the end of the school year the girls got to make an important step - they became brownies!  The girls had a bridging ceremony at one of the Daisy's houses. 

After the girls cross the bridge they transition from being a Daisy to a Brownie.   

 All of our brownies!

 (darn - her eyes are closed!) Now Elizabeth is a full fledged brownie!

 Afterwards (or I'm thinking it's the next night) I can't even remember what we were doing but all of the sudden all of the kids were swimming in their clothes!

 Baby Blakely was there - Tom's brother's daughter.  She's so adorable!

It's definitely nice having a pool in TX during the summer!
